Title: Please Help to Decipher Ellis Island Passenger List
Post by: Bikerchick64 on Sunday 23 September 12 22:42 BST (UK)
Hello!  I need some help in deciphering 2 out of 5 lines from a passenger list that has two of my relatives on it: Wladyslaw Lukovicz age 40 and Wasyl Lukovich, age 35.  The passenger list is wide, so there are two images to capture the data I want translated.

Thank you for your help in advance! 

-Robin 

P.S.  I only need the far right column to be deciphered... I see "friend  (spaces) Lou Zagurski"?

Hi Bikerchick64,

Sorry I can't be of much help, but above the word 'friend' I think it says 'uncle' and immediately above that I see 'brother'.

Hi again Bikerchick64,

The surname of the brother looks like 'TAGODA'  and his first name appears to begin with an 'R'.

Regards,

Winslass

That's very close to what I thought, but the surname looks as though it starts with F, an identical start to Friend, and could the g be a q giving something like Fiquiski?
